Why in C#? Why not use standard ways of recovering deleted files?
If this is an exercise in coding then share what you have tried so far

This CP article may prove useful How to programmatically use the Recycle Bin[^]

Apologies - I posted a C++ solution instead of C#, Try this instead https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/05f1476f-a101-4766-847b-0bdf4f6ad397/restore-undelete-file-from-recycle-bin?forum=csharpgeneral[^]

Your question said you wanted to recover all files and folders. Now you are saying you want to delete them from the HDD - which is it? And what have you tried so far?

i want to do disk wipe functianlity in C#.
first step is i want to find out file location already deleted but stored in memory.so how to find out deleted file location.

That is a completely different question to the one you asked. I can't help you with that one.
I suggest you post a question stating what it is that you are now trying to do. Include what you have tried so far, and try to give as much information as possible - do not use the word "recover" in your post - you appear to be attempting the exact opposite of that.
